That Day ...

Once upon a time ...
You were living life just fine.


But, the sky, that day
Was a dark, dreary gray.


Then, in the blink of an eye ...
You became a very different guy.


No fault of your own
You were simply headed home.


A victim of circumstance ...
You really had no chance.


If I had the power to change ...
That day, I would surely rearrange.


Once upon a time, you had it made, everyday.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it was taken away.

Macduff, thanks.

However, it is not about relationships in the sense you are thinking.

Instead, it is about a tragedy of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In fact, it does not happen to all of us, to this extent - thankfully.

The depth of your tender care for this special 'friend?' is wonderful... Very moving and a very honorable thought of mind... if only we could somehow go back and change certain split second moments in life how different 'life' would be for so many! Thought provoking poem. Thanks RHT.
